A/N: Finally, after 20 chapters, this is really the end. I swear. Lol. It's
just kind of a little "what happened afterwards" kinda thing that we
thought people might enjoy. So, here it is. And please take note that I was
watching "The Wedding Singer" while I wrote this. Just a warning. Lol.
Epilogue- By Dani
ONE MONTH LATER
"…And do you. Sarah Harding, take Ian Malcolm to be your husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do."
The preacher glanced up from his book and smiled. "By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Everyone cheered. Some people were crying, others clapped and smiled. The adults were all thinking how wonderful and romantic this was.
Billy, Tim, Lex, Eric, Dana, Cordelia, and Kelly Malcolm just wanted to get to the reception party.
Once the organ music stopped and the audience's applause died down, everyone slowly began making their way to the banquet hall.
As Billy and Dana passed, they hugged. They'd been doing that a lot since they'd found out about their relation. When Dana had gotten home and explained the situation to their parents, they had all decided that Billy and Dana should get to see each other as much as possible to make up for the lost thirteen years. Billy would come from Montana to Enid and stay with the Carters for a week every month or so. Whenever there was a school vacation, Dana would take a plane to Montana to stay with Billy.
As far as everyone else, they just appreciated the few times they could see each other. Like now.
Everyone had a great time at the party, although Eric looked like he would die if he didn't get out of his tuxedo *very* soon. He wasn't sure which was worse: being stranded on a dinosaur island with a Spinosaurus attempting to have you for lunch every ten minutes, or wearing a tuxedo. The good news was that he was gradually becoming more social again, and less jumpy. He could interact much more easily than his first time on the island.
Even Ellie and Dr. Grant, though eight years had passed, seemed to be slowly gaining their old selves back.
A slow song started.
"This one goes out to a new shy couple here tonight, with love from the young lady's brother," the singer announced in a low, clear voice.
Lex shot a suspicious glare at Tim, but he just shrugged and grinned with fake innocence.
Lex shook her head and looked up to see Billy holding out his hand. The two joined the others on the dance floor. Eric and Cordelia followed.
Dana sat watching until a boy who looked a lot like Eric confronted her.
"Hey," he said.
"Hi," she answered.
"I'm Chaz. Chaz Nathan." ((a/n: lol to all you fellow Trevor Morgan fans out there. No wonder he looks so much like Eric… hehehe. Hey, I deserve some romance in this story, too! Lol))
"Dana Carter… alias Dana Brennan."
"How come you have two names?" Chaz wondered.
Dana laughed. "Very long story."
"Well… let's dance while you tell me," Chaz suggested.
"Sure."
The two walked out onto the floor by Cordelia and Eric.
Soon, it was time for Sarah to throw the bouquet. She turned around, squeezed her eyes shut, and tossed it over her head.
The crowd of eager girls rushed forward and the flowers were caught. As everyone moved apart, they saw the brightly colored bunch being clutched tightly in the hands of none other than Lex. She looked at Billy and they both laughed.
Ellie and Dr. Grant smiled as they saw in Billy and Lex the younger versions…of themselves. They silently wished them better luck than they'd had.
The nagging feeling was gone from Eric. He knew that this time, surrounded by his friends and family with a deeper bond of love and friendship than he ever thought possible, this time he truly was safe.
Who knew? Maybe he'd become a famed paleontologist one day, and write a book of his own. But for now, he just wanted to hold on to his childhood for as long as he could, now knowing that it could be ripped from him at any second. For now, he just wanted to be a normal 13 year old and hang out with his friends and go to school.
His worries and wild adventures and brushes with death could remain in the past where they belonged, extinct to him. Dinosaurs of his mind.
THE END
************************************************************************
A/N: well, there it is. You guys have been great these past 21 parts of the story, and now the adventure has reached its end. I'm not sure if Courtney's up for writing a sequel, but keep those awesome reviews coming and I'd be happy to convince her. But for now, say good bye to Dana and Cordelia, but not to us. We'll most likely be back soon with our latest story in the Trevor Morgan obsessed collection, a sequel to the Disney Channel Original Movie: Genius. So we really hope you enjoyed our story, we really had fun writing it.
